8
On June 15, 2017, the
President issued an
Executive Order
entitled, “Expanding
Apprenticeships in
America.”
9
10
The Executive Order directs DOL to further expand apprenticeship
opportunities, to engage our partner Federal agencies in
promoting apprenticeships, and to attract businesses from a
growing range of sectors to sponsor apprenticeships.
11
Industry-Recognized Apprenticeships will give business and
industry more autonomy to develop work-based learning
programs that help an individual earn a wage while also earning
credentials employers value most.
12
The Executive Order also called
for the establishment of the
Task Force on Apprenticeship
Expansion to bring together
leaders from business, labor,
higher education, State
government, and others to
develop proposals and
recommendations to help us
meet our shared apprenticeship expansion goals.
Chair – Secretary Alexander Acosta,
U.S. Department of Labor
Vice-Chair – Secretary Betsy DeVos,
U.S. Department of Education
Vice-Chair – Secretary Wilbur Ross,
U.S. Department of Commerce
In the coming months, the Department will support innovative work-based
learning approaches, technology modernization, and state initiatives that
result in expansion of apprenticeship programs.
13
Grants to states will support activities that
lead to the expansion of apprenticeship and
advance alignment and integration of
apprenticeship and public workforce systems.
14
Competitive awards built on the American Apprenticeship Grant
initiative will support the expanded use of apprenticeship models in new
and emerging, high-growth industries/sectors.
